The Crawleys have an open house. Could this lead to the French Revolution? Cora gets a job offer, but accepting might be awkward. Thomas is misunderstood. Henry declares his intentions, but is he Dutch-cap worthy? All this and more as we head into the last episodes ever.

Halfway into the final season, and it’s our most action packed episode of the season. Mary goes to a pub. Edith has a date. Denker gets fired (for a minute). Oh and Neville Chamberlain comes to dinner and Robert pukes blood on him.

Carson and Mrs Hughes disagree about a wedding venue. Mary shows off her pigs. Thomas would like to help Andy wind the clocks. Marigold returns to Yew Tree Farm. Anna goes to London to put her feet up, in stirrups, because she’s going to a lady parts’ doctor and that’s somebody’s idea of hysterical.

It’s the final season of Downton Abbey. Mary’s sordid past comes back to haunt her, which only makes her meaner to Poor Edith, the ugly one. Mrs. Hughes still hasn’t set a wedding date. Is she having second thoughts? And will Anna and Bates ever know a moment of happiness?
